An oft-cited examples for SOAP Module functionality is caching. As a
first step, Akamai has been working on specifying a Module that
enables caching of responses in request/response MEPs, the first
draft of which is attached.
We envision this capability as the cornerstone of a number of SOAP
Optimisation Modules which can be used to offer better performance,
availability and scalability of Web Servicess in a number of
scenarios (not to say that such optimisations will be limited to
request/response). I anticipate release of some of these soon, but
would like to get feedback and discussion on this one as early as
possible.
Cheers,
